Dr. Debbie Goh – The Spectator Faculty Advisor
I’m Dr Debbie Goh, and I teach journalism and writing at PennWest. I serve as faculty advisor to the Spectator at the Edinboro campus and the CalTimes at the California campus. One of my greatest joys in being a journalism professor is working directly with students, guiding and mentoring them in developing the knowledge and skills essential for them to succeed as journalists and global citizens.
I received my rookie training at The Straits Times, Singapore’s flagship newspaper, where I covered the crime, health, environment and consumer beats. My passion for serving local communities through journalism led me to Indiana University Bloomington, where I earned my MA in journalism and PhD in mass communication. My research focuses on news rhetoric, digital inequalities and the processes that influence engagement with new media technologies.
I continue to actively engage with the news industry, collaborating with the World Association of News Publishers and the Asian American Journalism Association (Asia Chapter). My current project as Research Lead for AAJA-Asia’s Advancing News Diversity in Asia initiative is the development of a gender-sensitive stylebook for journalists in Asia.
The team at the Spectator is dedicated and passionate about sharing the stories and issues that impact our campus community. Our stories are possible because of our newsmakers and readers, and we thank you all for your support.
Dr. Ron Raymond - 88.9 WFSE Faculty Advisor
I’m Dr. Ron Raymond and it’s my privilege to serve as the faculty adviser for the campus radio station, 88.9 WFSE – Fighting Scots Radio.
I received my initial broadcast training as an undergraduate student here, taking radio classes from Dr. Gary Christiansen and serving as a member of the WFSE student management team. I was hired during my senior year internship at an area radio station and embarked on a long career in professional broadcasting, working for decades as both air talent and in station management.
I feel very fortunate to serve as the faculty adviser here today, helping students from a variety of majors develop communication and leadership skills that will benefit them throughout their lives, regardless of what career field they enter. WFSE has been an important part of my life as both a student and a faculty member, and it is an honor to be entrusted with its continuation and further growth.
It is a pleasure to work with an incredible group of talented students each semester in providing an exceptional learning experience and a vital service 24/7/365 to the campus and community locally, and worldwide through our live web stream. Thank you for listening and supporting campus media.
